The ring is then heated, placed over the end of the screen, and then allowed to cool down. Needless to say, this process can be quite time consuming and disruptive to the manufacturing work flow.

If this happens, or the installation of the sealing ring is unsuccessful, then the new part of screen must be stripped from the base pipe, the second ring cut off the pipe, a new ring placed onto the pipe, and the wrapping process is resumed. Obviously this can be very costly in terms of time, money, and waste.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de montage d'une bague d'étanchéité sur une crépine à fil enroulé, comprenant : l'utilisation de la bague d'étanchéité, la bague d'étanchéité ayant un diamètre intérieur initial plus grand que le diamètre extérieur d'une extrémité de la crépine à fil enroulé ; la réduction du diamètre intérieur de la bague d'étanchéité, le diamètre intérieur réduit de la bague d'étanchéité étant inférieur au diamètre extérieur de l'extrémité de la crépine à fil enroulé ; le chauffage de la bague d'étanchéité ; le positionnement de la bague d'étanchéité chauffée sur l'extrémité de la crépine à fil enroulé ; et l'opération consistant à laisser la bague d'étanchéité baisser en température. Un autre procédé comprend le positionnement d'au moins deux bagues d'étanchéité adjacentes sur une section découpée de la crépine à fil enroulé.
